The best book I've read in a while in this series is truly remarkable.

It has a good start that immediately grabs your attention and draws you into the story. The middle part is okay, perhaps not as exciting as the beginning, but it still manages to keep you engaged and curious about what will happen next.

However, it's the end that is absolutely FANTASTIC! It's full of unexpected twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The author does an amazing job of tying up all the loose ends and providing a satisfying conclusion that will make you want to read the next book in the series right away.

This book is definitely worth reading, especially if you're a fan of the series. It's a great addition that will not disappoint.

Sai! It's so good to see you again!


Half of me wishes that Sai could always be with Hikaru. But when I think about it calmly, Hikaru will soon become an adult. If she were to be attached to me, it would be really creepy. I don't like the idea of others looking at us. So it's better for Sai to reach enlightenment while Hikaru is still a child.


I know that Sai has his own path to follow, and I should respect that. But it's still hard for me to let go. Every time I see him, I remember all the good times we've had together.


Maybe this is just a part of growing up. I have to learn to face these separations and move on. But I will always cherish the memories of Sai and the impact he has had on my life.

I'm truly living for this remarkable Hikaru glow up.

It's been an amazing transformation to witness. Hikaru seems to have emerged with a newfound confidence and charm that is simply captivating.

However, I can't help but also feel a tinge of sadness as I do miss Sai so much. (╥︵╥) Sai was such an integral part of the story, and his presence brought a unique kind of magic.

Their connection was special, and even though Hikaru has grown and changed, there will always be a part of me that longs for Sai's return.

Nevertheless, I'm excited to see where Hikaru's journey takes him next and how he continues to shine in this new phase of his life.

The story was truly captivating from the very beginning. The plot unfolded in a way that kept me on the edge of my seat.

As the narrative progressed, I found myself deeply invested in the characters and their fates. The author did an excellent job of creating a vivid and emotional world.

The ending, however, was what really took my breath away. It was so poignant and touching that it almost made me cry.

The way the story wrapped up was both satisfying and heart-wrenching at the same time. It left me with a sense of bittersweetness and a feeling of having experienced something truly special.

I would highly recommend this article to anyone looking for a good read that will tug at their heartstrings and leave them with a lasting impression.

Finally, the match we've been waiting for has arrived in this volume.

However, it's not as exciting as we expected. The build-up to the match was full of anticipation and excitement, with both teams being evenly matched on paper.

But as the match progressed, it became clear that something was amiss. The players seemed to lack the spark and energy that we had hoped for. The plays were predictable, and there were no real surprises or moments of brilliance.

The denouement was somehow kinda lacking. It felt like the match just fizzled out, rather than ending with a bang. There was no sense of drama or tension in the final moments, and the result seemed almost anti-climactic.

Overall, it was a disappointing match that failed to live up to our expectations. We had hoped for a thrilling encounter, but instead, we were left with a feeling of dissatisfaction.

Hikaru is once again immersed in the game of go, and in this process, he has managed to achieve a semblance of closure with Sai.

This volume truly marks a return to the elements that made the story so great in the first place. The intense go matches, the complex characters, and the profound exploration of the game's spirit are all present.

It feels as if the series has found its footing again, and this would have been a really good ending point. The story has come full circle, with Hikaru having grown and learned so much through his experiences with go and Sai.

Whether or not this is truly the end, this volume has left a lasting impression and has reminded readers of the beauty and power of the game of go.

Hikaru has made a remarkable return to the world of professional go. And now, he has a highly anticipated match against AKIRA TOYA!

This is a transformed Hikaru, fully dedicated to the game and determined to understand and overcome his flaws. Watching him finally emerge as a true professional is simply incredible. Not only that, but everyone around him has also begun to acknowledge his growth and talent.

There comes a moment where the adults are engaged in a lively discussion about the number of people who have shown interest in Hikaru Shindo and how many professional players have recognized his abilities. It is truly astonishing to realize, after 16 (or perhaps now 17) volumes, that Hikaru has accomplished so many praiseworthy feats.

And now, even Akira is starting to view him as a genuine rival! The story has come full circle, and it is oh-so-satisfying to read. It makes one eager to see what further challenges and triumphs Hikaru will face in his journey as a professional go player.
